Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Students can carry emergency epinephrine

Students diagnosed with anaphylaxis can carry and use emergency medicine at school and school-sponsored activities. A parent or guardian must give written permission each year. After using the medicine, the student must tell the school nurse or designated staff member as soon as practical. Trained school staff can also give emergency epinephrine.

Optometrists can treat allergic reactions

Optometrists can use an epinephrine delivery system to treat an anaphylactic reaction. The authorization applies when they are treating that reaction.

Schools can stock emergency epinephrine

The law lets school districts, charter schools, and authorized groups get prescriptions in their own names to stock epinephrine systems. Prescribers and dispensers do not need a prior exam or an established doctor-patient relationship for these stock prescriptions. Systems must be FDA-approved and contain a premeasured dose; they must be stored as required. Staff responsible for storage or use need initial training and refresher training at least every two years. Charter schools must set emergency policies, and annual training is optional in years when a school does not stock systems. Stock prescriptions last two years.
